Food truck hire for Hounsdown events
How it compares
A marquee kitchen with plated service needs more space, more staff and more time. Our food truck or trailer brings the kitchen and serves from one hatch. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Hounsdown questions
Can you serve near the sea around Hounsdown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What’s the nearest station to Hounsdown for guests?
The closest is Totton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is food truck hire good for weddings?
A food truck suits a relaxed wedding well. We will check access and timings with your venue.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Southampton included. Find your area.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Food truck hire in Hounsdown: local tips
Hounsdown is about 1 mile south of Totton, in Southampton. From the centre of Hounsdown to the outskirts, food truck hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Hounsdown is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we can bring food truck hire.
Close to Hounsdown are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4.1 miles east) and Medieval Merchant's House (4.2 miles east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Totton station is about 1.1 miles away. With the New Forest National Park within about 5 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer. The coast is within about 5 miles of Hounsdown, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission.
We serve at events all over SO40 and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on Main Road, Pound Lane and Chapel Lane. We also serve at events in Ashurst Bridge (1 mile north-west), Totton (1 mile north), Netley Marsh (1 mile north-west), Woodlands (2 miles west) and Winsor (3 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Southampton (5 miles east), Shirley (3 miles east), Regents Park (3 miles east), Townhill Park (6 miles east), Midanbury (6 miles east) and Thornhill (7 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find National Dairy Museum (0.8 miles south) and Ashurst Hospital (1.4 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
- Local schools include Foxhills Infant School (0.5 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include The Forest Inn (0.9 miles south-west)

Where the truck can go in Hounsdown
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

Events we cater in Hounsdown
Diets are simple to plan for, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options from the same hatch.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Launch events
- Company away days
- Wedding receptions
- Parties in venue grounds
When the service is at a church such as Colbury Christ Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.
Questions to ask before booking
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- When payment is due
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it stays light in Hounsdown until about 9:25pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:10pm. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us the date, the location, rough numbers and any diets.
- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
